Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Nov. 12, 1907.

Application filed February 19. 1907. Serial No. 358,220.

To all whom'it may concern:

Be it known that 1, ANDREW J. RISKEY, a citizen of the United States,residing at Troy, in the county of Ronsselaer and State of New York,have invented a new and useful Gas-Generator; and I do hereby declarethe following to be a full, clear, and exact description oi theinvention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which itappertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to vapor producing apparatus and it has for anobject to provide an apparatus by which vapor may be produced fromkerosene oil.

A further object is to provide an apparatus which may be heated by thevapor thus produced.

With these and other objects in view, the invention consists of theparts and combinations of parts hereinafter described, shown in theaccompanying drawings and pointed out in the appended claims.

In the drawings Figure l is a perspective view of my apparatus. Fig. 2is a view showing the manner in which the burner passes through the wallof the fire pot. Fig. 3 is a sectional view showing the burner as itappears within the fire pot.

Referring more particularly to the drawings, 1 indicates a tank forcontaining kerosene oil. This tank may be of cylindrical form as shownin the drawing and is provided at its top, with a vapor space 2. Thetank is initially heated by a fire built on a grate 3 located below thetank, the products of combustion passing out through smoke stack 4. Uponheating the tank while it contains kerosene, vapor rises into vaporspace 2 and is conducted by a pipe 5 to a gasoincter 6, having a risingand falling bell. From the gasometer the vapor passes to service pipe10. After a suflicient quantity of vapor has been produced, the fire ongrate 3, is permitted to die out and then the valve 7 is opened to allowthe vapor to pass to burner S, the vapor issuing from the burner whenignited heating the tank in the same manner as the [ire on the grate 3.

To prevent the burner being affected by the heat of a fire made upon thegrate and also to prevent the burner being clogged by clinkers or dust,the burner is inounted to swing through an elongated horizontal opening11 in the side of the [ire pot, a sliding door 9 serving to close allthe opening when the burner is swung entirely out of the fire pot or toclose a portion of the opening when the burner is positioned within the[ire pot.

Having thus described my invention what I claim and desire to secure byLetters-Patent is:

The combination with a firepot of a kerosene tank, mounted thereon, afire grate disposed beneath the tank and having bars lying parallel withthe length of the fire pot, said gasolcno tank having a vapor domeprojecting from its upper circumference, a gasorneter tank to cooperatewith the said dome. a pipe connecting said dome and the gasonieter tankthereby forming communication therebetwecn, a valve controlled pipefastened to the sides of the lire pot, having one of its ends connectedto the said pipe, forming communication therewith, while its other endis provided with a burner, said burner being swiveled to the saidvalve-controlled pipefsaid fire pot having an elongated horizontalopening, a sliding closure therefor, said opening having flanges toreceive the closure for guiding the same. said burner n1ountcd to beswung into and out of the tire pot, through the said opening and whenswunk into the lire pot, lies above the fire grate and at right anglesto the bars thereofi In testimony whereof I have signed my name to thisspecification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
